 Post subject: brake failure light on 84 240t
PostPosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:11 am 
Hello Guys

So i installed new calipers on my 240 and am now having a hard time bleeding the drivers side rear caliper.As well as the brake failure light is now on.
The pedal feels really stiff when i'm compressing the brake pedal but am not getting very good flow from the bleeder screw.Could there be some blockage in the line and if so would that be the reason why the brake failure light is on.
Do you guys know of a solution to this.

Thanks again

Sometimes the switch sticks in the "failure" position, and it blocks the flow to the brakes with the leak. Give it a few light taps with a hammer and make sure the light is out, and then you can bleed the system.

PM returned. Hopefully it makes more sense now.
